The Winnipeg Police Service has launched a “preliminary assessment” of the rash of deaths at the Maples Personal Care Home.

An outbreak of the novel coronavirus has killed 22 people at the for-profit nursing home, including eight deaths during a recent 48-hour stretch.

I've got an "Aunt" in there after she suffered a stroke. Have to keep checking with Dad if he's heard anything.

We are going down an ugly road.

It's quite possible that if things don't improve in the next couple of weeks that a lockdown may be in play, I never thought that it would talked about but we can't continue with 300 plus cases a day and people continuing to die and stretch the hospitals to a breaking point which could happen any day now if it hasn't already.

I'm not sure if you caught the end of today's Roussin presser but he said more restrictions were coming. When he hints like that, you know it's true. I'm still thinking schools will be closed to non-essential worker's children by the end of the week. 

I also think they may be locking things down. They'll do it for two weeks to see if there's an affect on the numbers, then extend it if it doesn't.

Caught bits and pieces, sensed he is very frustrated but maybe I reading to much of his mannerism's lately, I agree about the schools, and add gyms, retail and malls

Palliser and his government started the response to COVID well, and basked in the approbation from that. Now, they have lost the control and are down to knee-jerk reactions in putting out fires. The crises in Parkview and Maples care facilities should never been allowed to get this bad and were preventable.

Presser at 10:30 with Pallister and Roussin. 

 

Drinking game: drink every time either says, "fundamentals". You'll be so drunk and blackout quickly, you'll forget how badly they're mismanaging this.

 

But seriously, expect another lockdown.

Announcement should be out any minute now but yes a full lockdown is coming.

Close everything but the schools? I believe its been quoted in a study from the UK that gatherings over 10 and schools make up the greatest percentage of outbreaks, but what does science know?

I'm on the fence on this. We haven't seen much transmission in the schools, apparently, and they have made them safer (finally!!!) by reducing the class sizes. 

 

However, kids are still getting and transmitting Covid. Not as quickly as adults. But, they're not being truthful about the spread in schools. They keep saying that they're not seeing school transmissions but several students/teachers/staff are getting it somewhere. It can't only be during recreation and outside.
